The CFL has announced that Keith Urban will perform at the halftime show at the 107th Grey Cup in Calgary.

This will be Urban’s first Grey Cup performance.

“I know we’ve scored an absolute touchdown for football and music fans everywhere when my three young daughters are as excited about this big news as I am,” said CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie. “Our early relationship with Keith has already shown him to be as authentic and genuine as he is famous and talented.

“We can’t wait to see him and everyone in Calgary as we share his shining light and Canada’s spirit with fans here at home and viewers around the world.”

The Grey Cup will take place on Sunday, Nov. 24 at Calgary’s McMahon Stadium.
